THE CROP TO RAISE.
Two Acres Enough to support a
Man and Family.


EDIroRs HERALD There used to
be a man on this coast that con-
tended that two acres was enough
for any one to farm here that un-
dertook to do all their own work
This man was practical, inasmuch
as he always made his living on the
two acres. l saw him do it in two
places, neither OF which was exep-
tionally good as to soil or location.
And he told me that had been his
way wherever he had been on this
coast. He claimed, and as far as |
could see, did make a living for his
family, and kept horse and COW,
on two acres OF land. But it was we'll
cared for and thoroughly cultivated.
Now there are millions of acres of
better land than he used, untaken
unclaimed, and uncultiyated. in this
State, awaiting the occupancy of sucb
persons. 1t may not lay just to suit
every one, in fact most of it does
not lie in places to suit any
one, or it would have been occupied
The trouble is that the best land on
the coast is in spots and patches Of a
| few rods, or at most a few acres in one
place.
This being the case, the would-be
settler or occupant, or purchaser i,
dissatisfied. He or she is looking fo
land living SO as to be convenient,
cut up into smaller tracts, to be solo
at some future time. OF course, all O
this kind of land has been taken o
claimed long ago by grant-holders o
settlers. Yet, as before noted, ther'
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-11-08

are millions Of acres unoccupied, un-
claimed and uncultivated on this
coast. If it was in my way to do SO /
could point out at least two millions
of these acres. But they will be
found and occupied and cultivated in
less than five years by some one. The
question arises, "Who?" "By those
willing to work" 1 want to see these
millions of acres in cultivation,
because in this magnificent dc
main lays the undeveloped
wealth that is required to
carry us forward on the way to En-
pire. That this is the Imperial State
OF the Union 1 have long believed
and my forty years occupancy of this
coast makes me certain that my belief
is we'll grounded. 1t may be very nat
urally asked what should one cultivate
on two acres to make a living. Not
corner lots, that is certain. Who ever
undertakes to make a living on two
acres of land (and l have done it)
must get in the middle of it and go to
work. In the first place it must be pu.
in order. To do this on the ground
that is now unclaimed and unoccupied,
the only tool that is suitable is the
mattock. Not the usual tool by that
name, but tool made as the Italians
make their mattocks, with a hoe at
least sixteen inches long, without an
AK on the back. Why? Because the
ak is only needed occasionally and its
weight has to be raised at every stroke.
So to have the tool light enough that
it can be handled all day there should
be no axe on it. The mattock is the
most trying tool to wrestle with that
any person ever used. Yet l have
seen small persons (male and female)
use them for years to advantage. Talk
about cutters! If the coming race ex-
poets to fly, as they undoubtedly will,
there is no tool that will prepare them
for that purpose better than the mat
took! have seen the pectoral mus
cles developed on little person that
would enable them to WELD pair Of
wings without any trouble. by the use
of a mattock. And then the use is so
fraught with results when applied to
the hand. Sixteen inches is little
enough to work the soil if one expects
full crops. On the land in view, one
should grow corn, cabbage, caulifower,
onions, beans, asparagus, beets,
squashes, melons, straw berries, black
berries, cherries, apples, pears, olives,
figs, and healthy children. This is
the best crop know Of.

Swallowed a Menagerie.

NJ D'Orbigny, a traveller who was passing
through Guiana, in South Africa, was, when
encamped one night in the edge of wood,
awakened by what he took to be the cries of
a man in distress. He listened, and heard,
following each other in great rapidity, what
seemed to be q scream of terror and despair
then supphcation, and then cry as of one
dying. The traveller leaped from his couch,
seized his gun, and hastily woke his Indian
guide.
"Come, this instanti" he cried "There is
some one being murdered in the thicket Let
us go to his assistance"
Thereupon the cries were repeated, and the
Indian listened. He burst into laugh.
what do you mean" asked the traveller
"That, sir, said the guide, sis the ton ton
bird, perched on a limb somewhere in the
neighborhood. 1t is only piece of mockery.
Presently you will hear him laugh
And then, in fact, a wild shout as of laugh
ter rang out on the night air.
The tion ton is sort of South American
knocking bird, which has an extraordinary
gift of imitation. 1t is also bird of great
beauty of plumage. 1t is sometimes called
the yellow neck" Its feathers are of lively
colors and its tail is brilliant and spreading.
The natives use its feathers to decorate their
hats with on feast days, and turn their head
gear into golden crowns in appearance.
The bird mimics almost every sound he
hears, as the parrot does. The inhabitants OF
Guiana assert that he can initiate faithfully
the accent of the English, French and Span
ish. Natural sounds and the cries of animals
of every sort he reproduces very cleverly.
The story is told of a negro who saw and
heard the ton ton for the first time, and who
exclaimed, after the bird had gone through
his long list of limitations of animals, "Ha
him eat whole menageriel"-Youth's Com

biggest Balloon of All.

Capt. Morton, the well known Birmingham
aeronaut, is building balloon which is to whip
creation. 1t is to be madein thirty sections,
each sixty feet in length, and there is upward
of 5000 yards of sewing to be done by hand
and machine. This fabric, which is being
manufactured in France, is an intermixture
of silk and cambria, and will be woven very
strongly, but TO weigh as light as possible
Capt. Morton intends having it coated with
a special preparation, consisting of the best
india rubber, as he considers, after many
years experience, that it will be better
adapted in every way for ballooning purposes
than the old fashioned method of oiling. He
also finds that it forms perfect gas holder,
and offers better resistance to the elements
The valves will be improved upon, and will
be fitted with four powerful springs, thus
keeping the shutters as close as possible to the
plunge, and preventing leakage of the light
gas. The netting, although light, will be of
great strength, and Messrs Gorton g. Sons,
of Dudley, will supply the materials, which
will consist of the finest Italian hemp. Capt.
Morton expects to complete the machine for
Whit week, and hopes to arrange for its
ascent in Birmingham. He will use it for his
voyage in August from Dover to France in
the Channel balloon race-Boston TRANSCRIPT
